I’m a systems librarian in an academic library. I moved over the Lemmy after Rexxit 2023. I’ve had an account on sdf.org since 2009 (under a different username), and so I chose this instance out of a sense of nostalgia. I do all sorts of fiber arts (knitting, cross stitch, sewing) and love dogs.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

I’m in Connecticut, USA. If that’s meant to be eaten with butter or used to sop up gravy, it’s a roll. If you slice it in half and put a patty or other protein filling in it, it’s a bun.

How many people here have actually used XMPP?

With all the current discussion about the threat that Instagram Threads has on the Fediverse and that article about how Google Embrace Extend Extinguished XMPP, I was left very confused, since that was the first time I’ve heard that Gchat supported XMPP or what XMPP actually is, and I’ve had my personal Gmail since beta (no,...

I used it. I don’t remember if my first jabber account was on Google or not, but I used the pidgin IM client to communicate with friends on ICQ, Gchat, AOL, and IRC. Then when Google removed jabber support I couldn’t use my pidgin to connect to my Gchat anymore.

I don’t think I’ll delete my account or comments. There’s a lot of memories there. I’ve said a lot of nice things to nice people. Reddit was one of the places I grieved for my father. And I didn’t have my act together enough to download my comment/post history before the third-party export tools stopped working.

I’ve made toast by popping it in the oven on broil. Not too bad, if you’re doing a large batch of toast.

Do you find that you're on the fed more than you were on r/ just because you're really really excited to watch your favorite communities become more active?

I do, but as more people join I’m also feeling a little republican - i got my spot and this is good; everyone on the outside can go fuck off now. I don’t want it to get so big that it’s what we left. No intended disrespect or lack of acknowledgment to those who were here before.

Hello, fellow normal human-type person. It is pleasant to engage in average human behavior with other humans. Imagine that I am petting a dog because I have a dog in my lap and am petting him.

Thank you for contact Grysbok. I hope this message finds you in good health. I am currently out of the office pursuing other normal human pursuits. Please leave a message after the beep. Beep, dial tone

I have the strong urge to stick my tongue out at you. Because I’m a grown ass-adult and it’s past my bedtime.

Brilliant! Thank-you.

My only complaint with Connect is that I’m using the dark theme, and so having a big white “refreshed” bar show up when I pull down my feed is jarring. I like jerboa’s cute spinny wheel better.

But, if that’s my biggest complaint ¯*(ツ)*/¯

If Lemmy and Mastodon continues to get popular, we will eventually get Instance wars.

If the descentralization of social networks continue, we will have to prepare for the eventual rise of the instances wars, where people will start to fight about which instance is better and which one is weird to be in and so on, but that’s for the future of us all.

I’ve got multiple accounts because I have my main (this one) and an account on feddit.uk. The account on feddit.uk exists because I wanted to make a very UK-niche community on there, and I believe you need an account on an instance to make a community on that instance. I could give up my feddit.uk account now, but it’s nice to keep around in case my main instance goes down for maintenance or some such.

Not quite. Lemmy.world is the instance. I’m from the instance lemmy.sdf.org and I also hang out on feddit.uk . The instance names are just URLs (.world, .uk, and org are all like .com).

Handwavy explanation because I’m fuzzy on details: Federation is the magical interconnection between instance lemmy.sdf.org and instance lemmy.world that allows me to see posts/threads/users on the lemmy.world instance .

Aww, thank you.

It’s a hazard of really knowing what you’re talking about that leads to overestimating what other people know. I don’t have that problem 😉. Relevant xkcd: xkcd.com/2501/ .
